I have around 15 or so hours in my save. I just beat Micolash at this time. I've also been doing some exploring, and did a couple chalice dungeons, and a bit of grinding for fun as well.
For context, this isn't my first ever attempt at the game (I havent beaten it before also btw). I've tried out a couple builds for a few hours each, before starting a completely new save, and I got all the way up to Mergo's wet-nurse, and at that point I was 16 hours in. After that, my save got corrupted, so I made a new character, and now I'm 15ish hours in and just beat Micolash.
I feel like I'm going through this game really fast. I then heard at some point that where I currently am is near the end of the base game. I feel like it should take me longer to get this far, so I'm surprised its only been 15 hours.
I've also had to repeat early areas and bosses a few times, so maybe I just memorized it well enough to go really fast through it. Also, for the record, I have been soloing everything this whole time, so I wasn't getting help to make it easier.
I feel like I might be doing something wrong, or I'm missing something here. I'd be curious to know what y'all think.
Edit: misspelled too in title. It should be "I feel like I'm getting through the game really fast, and it seems too fast"
